Reading is Fundamental...Sassy Pants Polish

Sassy Pants Polish, The Bookish Girl, was its contribution to Hella Handmade Creations September. The polish is Inspired by The Magicians and, after some online investigation, I discovered The Magicians is a young-adult fantasy book trilogy and was adapted into a television series on Syfy. 

The Bookish Girl is described as a silver ultra-holographic with assorted fire red holographic glitters and microshreds. The polish also features red sparks, and red-gold microflakies. The abundance of red elements in the polish appears to have altered the silver holographic base, giving it a pinkish hue, especially in person. 

I was able to get the perfect amount of glitter and holographic effect in two coats. As with other polishes that are chock-full of glitter, The Bookish Girl lost most of its sparkle and is textured when it dried. Therefore, two layers of a good top coat is recommended.
